"Mr Morganti, I do not think we should confuse different issues. I was Environment Minister, I have also been Minister for Fisheries in my own country, and I know all about monitoring marine and coastal zones. These are matters often dealt with by public authorities or by volunteer professionals. We are talking about something else when we talk about beach and seaside concessions, which, in some cases, do actually have safety issues.
However, Mr Morganti, at least give me some credit because, as a Commissioner, it is my duty to act as guardian of the Treaty, along with my colleagues, and to ensure that European law, resulting from the work of the colegislators, is implemented rigorously, fairly and objectively. It happens that the choice made by the colegislators, that is, you here in Parliament and the Council of Ministers, was not to exclude that profession. I am well aware that other professions were excluded, professions which are, incidentally, covered by specific texts. However, the one to which you refer and find problematic was not excluded from the Services Directive.
Therefore, the only thing I can say is that I will try, as intelligently as possible in my dialogue with the Italian authorities, to find pragmatic solutions, but ones that are in keeping with European law, by which I am bound."@en1
